I don't think I've ever lived in a neighborhood with overhead lines that doesn't have a pair of sneakers hanging on an overhead line somewhere. Hell, I've seen it in the middle of a US Army base. People just like throwing them up there.

I can do a special K for this, but we're not doing a whole set because multiple comics in one entry requires a lot of hand-recoding things, sorry. Randalor posted:We're allowed to suggest new Kellies categories, right? By all means, go for it- it's pretty nonspecific (and close to Worst Overall), but on the flipside, it's a pretty common refrain year over year.

It was more of a situation where it wasn't necessarily the worst (it may not even be in the top 5 that we've seen this year from Stiglich) but just that... "perfect" combination of dogwhistles and outdated references where your only initial reaction is to want to tell the author to gently caress off. I also want to nominate Tatsuya for a lifetime achievement award in the category, otherwise I'd just be nominating every Sinfest Sunday.

China Daily SVB's domino effect by Luo Jie  Le Monde Chine : Xi Jinping tout-puissant/China: Xi Jiping All Powerful by Ahmed Rahma from Turkey   by Urbs from FranceThe Retirement Reform will pass "No matter what you doubt!" A play on quoiqu'on en dise/No matter what you say. Charlie Hebdo  Retirement at 64 Vote with your hand held high! The gesture they're making is insulting in France, not unlike the middle finger. I think it's universal these days? Like a middle finger.  MIVILUDES (Mission interministérielle de vigilance et de lutte contre les dérives sectaires/Interministerial Mission of Vigilance and Combat against Sectarian Drifts) is a government agency that is supposed to observe and analyze the phenomenon of cult movements, decide how to deal with them, inform the public about them, and help any victims. The CH articles seems to report on them becoming rather toothless. The next drawings accompany interview with the writers of an investigative BD about the lack of attention being paid to babies being born armless in France.

Having posted these for 3 months now the Charlie Hebdo team are all proficient cartoonists for the most part. They've got a very poor taste of humor and are edgy as poo poo but I can't fault them on not being able to draw. The cartoonists Le Monde goes with are all generally fine. I'd have to check but I think the most common ones from the we get are Chappatte and Herrmann from Switzerland and Urbs from France. Urbs I find to be generally bad. His drawings are "stylistic" scribbles and the jokes are pretty lame along with little commentary. It's not bad in the way some bad Anglo cartoonists are and none of them, including Urbs, are offensive to the degree we can get from our usuals. China Daily, being propaganda, has some pretty stupid messaging even if American Imperialism is bad, but what impresses me the most, is how good their team of artists is, even if at times their metaphors aren't visually great.

The China Daily ones are just too one-note. There is never any surprise there, or any insight. They feel like they are planned by committee and stamped out in a cartoon factory. Competently drawn but utterly bereft of soul.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:That's exactly what they are according to one account posted earlier ITT. This was my post, I'm going to try to find the source again right now: Discendo Vox posted:I recently found a mid-length graphic depiction by, iirc, an australian cartoonist who had the chance to talk with one of the China Daily cartoonists about their work- specifically the lead of their cartooning team. Regrettably I can't find it atm. Among the information disclosed, the cartoonist indicates that they're working in a team studio under his supervision, and that all cartoons are produced under tight deadline and require advance review by managers from the party, which means that if one is rejected, they have to revise them with virtually zero time. This is likely a factor in how screwy the China Daily cartoons are: the cartoonists are pressured to "play it safe" by repeating the exact messages intended for distribution in that cycle over and over, and everyone involved has very little perspective of their target audience's viewpoints and reasoning outside the state-controlled media bubble in China (and, of course, if they did, they can't safely exercise it)! The result is really technically skilled people producing propaganda that is, in function, frequently reflective of their domestic information limitations to the point of being completely ineffective. Here it is: https://junkee.com/80462/80462 Note it's from 2016, when China Daily was much more actively inserting material into places like the Washington Post, and the Australian author is, unfortunately, remarkably credulous.
